About Roian
Roian Baalman is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) who helps people manage stress, anxiety, addiction, trauma, and mood concerns. She practices in Missouri and brings six years of clinical experience to sessions. Roian keeps language clear and direct so clients can focus on next steps rather than jargon.
Her approach is collaborative and tailored to each person. She uses methods like Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and Attachment-Based work to address patterns that cause pain. Roian also draws on Dialectical Behavior Therapy and client-centered ideas to help people build practical skills and stronger relationships.
Roian has background in behavioral health and substance use settings, and experience with medicated-assisted-treatment. She has also worked for a decade in human services with people who have intellectual and physical disabilities, which shaped her interest in this work. That mix of agency and private practice experience informs how she structures sessions and plans care.
Clients commonly bring issues such as depression, ADHD, grief, relationship and intimacy concerns, parenting strain, sleep and eating struggles, and compulsive behaviors. Additional focuses include attachment and abandonment wounds, body image, caregiver stress, chronic pain and illness, and dissociation.
Sessions begin with setting clear goals together. Roian emphasizes practical strategies people can use between meetings. Office hours are generally weekdays 9 am to 6 pm with Saturday availability, and scheduling follows the site’s matching process.

How Roian’s Approaches Translate Online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people name what matters to them and take small steps toward those values while accepting difficult feelings. It is often used for anxiety, stress, avoidance, and motivation problems.Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships shape current patterns. It can help people understand closeness and trust issues and try new ways of relating in relationships.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on changing unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns through clear exercises and experiments. It is commonly used for depression, anxiety, and coping skills like sleep and eating routines.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person about goals and try methods that fit their needs and preferences. That decision is collaborative and can shift as progress is made.
If you’re considering online work, confirm the available session options before booking since formats are not listed here. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when a quick update helps. It also lets conversations continue when life changes make in-person visits harder. Licensed professionals can adapt ACT, attachment work, and CBT to an online setting so the same practical tools and planning still guide progress.
